Tune in on Wednesday to see if the apparition makes the knocks even louder and encounters the ladies of the team. In the next episode of Legend Quest, the team climbs the mountains to get to an area called White Stone. This is an area where evidently the Inca people communicated with the sun gods for help.

Ghost Hunters/GHI often declare one location haunted and another not so much despite evidence of paranormal activity. What criteria do you think a place needs to be called haunted?

Christopher Columbus first spotted Chacachacare Island on his third New World voyage on August 12, 1498 and dubbed it El Caracol because of its shape. Since then, it has served as a cotton plantation, a whaling station and, as it is most known for, a leper colony. It is now named for the native cotton that grows on the island. The Spaniards grew cotton on the island and established a whaling station. By 1791, the island had a sizable population living there. Then it was given to an Irishman, Gerald Fitzpatrick Carry, for services rendered to the King with the proviso it would be returned if needed by the King. He used it for agriculture and grew sugar apples and cotton. In 1813, Venezuelan patriot Santiago Mariño, who later joined forces with Simón Bolivar, used Chacachacare as a base to launch an invasion of Venezuela during its war of independence with only 45 "Patriots". In the 1800’s, Chacachacare was used as a health spa and retreat for Trinidadians. In 1880, Dom

Do you think it is possible for an animal to be psychic?

Typically, the historical accounts displayed on Ghost Hunters International are somewhat close to actual facts. But I've been noticing, on occasion, how completely off they can be. For example, they visited the Gran Hotel Viena in Argentina last year that supposedly was a hot spot for the Nazis maybe even Hitler after WWII. After writing an entry about this location, reporting very much the same, I was contacted by the descendants of the hotel's original owner, stating the stories were fabricated. I believe I may have found myself in a similar situation. During last night's premiere, viewers were given a short and sweet history behind the Lopinot Plantation. Also known as Compte de Loppinot Historical Complex, it was established in the 1800s by Charles Joseph, Compte de Loppinot. He was a general in the French army and later a member of the Trinidad military. He settled there with his family and 100 African slaves on several hundred acres of land. This portion of the bac

Ever wonder if there really is a soul? Do you believe that people can talk with the dead? If spirits of the dead exist, where do they reside? Do Parallel Universes really exist? Can we receive visitors from Parallel Universes? A Paranormal encounter led to this eBook by Walter Parks available in all formats, including PDF that addresses these questions. "My friend Dr. Robert (Bob) Russell said that he knew a girl that could communicate with the dead. I didn’t believe him. He invited me to an “encounter” to prove it. We went to a very weird old house where a Paranormal Investigative Team was working. They had some pretty sophisticated equipment. We all watched as their equipment recorded the paranormal encounter in detail. The temperature sensing equipment showed significant and rapid temperature drops when the "entities" appeared. Their electromagnetic sensors recorded the spikes of appearance and higher than normal levels as their presence continued. Their infra red
